Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I love the adjustable straps near the side pockets - they allow for storage of more versatile objects. I don't like, however, that the backpack struggles to stay up.

It is a great backpack. It has quite a bit of room for all my stuff but doesn't appear bulky.

My daughter uses this for school and it is The only one we could find that fit all her stuff It is really sturdy too and well designed with comfy Shoulder straps!

It is a great overall backpack. It is a little stiff, but I know my laptop is being protected.

I use this back pack for school. I take it with me to various places to work on school work & it is comfortable every time I put it on my back. It is also very good quality & a great style!

If you need a backpack for heavy books (think college/grad school in particular), don't buy this! The backpack is stiff but has poor support and I've had severe back pain after carrying only two heavy textbooks in it. It is also very top-heavy, meaning it falls over backwards as soon as I put it down, jostling everything inside. The front pockets are poorly located relative to the rest of the bag, obstructing the space in the main compartment. It's just not a well-designed bag and I wish I could return it.

I love the backpack and it's design.

I love this backpack! I bought this for my senior year at university, upcoming trips, and grad school. It's bigger than the Jester backpack I previously had, so I can pack a lot of stuff to get through the days at UCLA.

Exactly as shown. Huge North Face fan...the prices are reflective of the quality and durability in all North Face products.

I use it everyday for school and i love it!

I love this backpack I needed something that wouldn't hurt my back for college this bag has everything I need separate compartments for pens books and my computer! Only bag I will ever buy for college! Or travel !

I think the best part is that the side pocket is big enough to hold my water bottle.

This works perfect for everything I need . Works for books and my computer . Plus I can use for sports if I need to.

I have two of the past season Borealis designs and getting this new one, I hate the fact that the second pocket from the front doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the bag. It makes the backpack VERY top heavy and doesn't fit all my smaller things that normally went into that second pocket. I wish I could return it for the past season design but I can't anymore!!! Why would you guys take away all that space!!!!

For school, middle school! Expensive hopefully worth it

i'm so upset. the backpack i ordered looks NOTHING like the one i received. i was very excited to get it and i'm so disappointed. it's good quality and whatever but the color isn't what i hoped. personally it's ugly

This backpack is just what I needed for school.

I loved this backpack and how the material is because honestly my backpacks wear out quickly and with this one i can tell it's not wearing out. I love how it doesn't take a lot of space and overall fits so much. I love the amount of pockets and overall the design. If I could buy more I totally would. I recommend this backpack to anyone who loves the design and needs that comfort and space

I use this product to carry my laptop and books to classes in college each day. There is enough space to fit all of my supplies and keep things organized. It is supportive on my back and does not weigh me down.

This backpack is awesome! It has tons of pockets and they are all a decent size. The laptop area is a great size and seems protected. it's also super comfortable. If you're a student who doesn't need=d a laptop everyday you can definitely use it to hold notebooks. Also, it's super comfortable! The only issue is that the main compartment is a little bit small, but it still fits most things. it's only an issue when you have a lot of notebooks, folders, a binder, and a large lunch box. Other than that thoiugh, it's pretty great.

I absolutely love this backpack! I'm currently in graduate school and always have way too much stuff to carry. This backpack effectively distributes the weight of all of my books making it feel significantly lighter on my back. There is tons of room in it and I love that the laptop sleeve is its own separate compartment. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to a friend!

I love this bag! It's so spacious, durable, and stylish!

Because the color said that it was a burnt coral, I thought it would be a bit more pink, but I got the BLACK HEATHER/BURNT CORAL METALLIC and I actually loved it. I wanted something that was a classic backpack look, but also gave me more than my old backpacks. There's a laptop slot in the far back, then one larger slot for my books and pencil case. There there's the small pocket to put some smaller items, although the small pocket runs deep and is pretty roomy--which I love. Then there are two water bottle holders on each side for convenience. The quality is really good. When I got the backpack it was really stiff, but only because it was brand new. It's more comfortable to wear now. I've had it for about 3 weeks.

The backpack will be us d for College and carry my computer.

The first one lasted for over 6 years. I used it everyday. Carrying heavy college books, laptop, water, snacks becomes easier to carry in a single backpack. Also I have to walk a lot around campus. Can't imagine doing it without this backpack. I recommend this backpack for all high school and college students. This backpack would be great for professionals too for taking to work.
